Guanciale di suino nero delle Dolomiti Lucane

The guanciale made from black pig produced in Castelmezzano by Giampiero is a high-quality product, appreciated by food lovers for its intense flavor and its soft and succulent texture.

The guanciale from black pig is a prized cut, obtained from the cheeks of the black pig raised in the pastures of Basilicata. Thanks to the particular diet of the animals and the care in the preparation of the meat, the guanciale from black pig has a unique and refined flavor, with sweet and spicy notes that blend perfectly with the savoriness of the meat.

The production of guanciale is based on traditional and artisanal techniques, which respect the natural cycle of the meat and preserve its quality and organoleptic characteristics.After salting, the meat is allowed to rest for a predetermined period of time, allowing for the perfect distribution of salt and the flavoring of the meat. Subsequently, the guanciale is aged for a variable period of time, depending on the desired taste and texture.
Giampiero represents one of the few producers who prioritize quality over quantity, an example for many.
